The surprise launch of a solid-fueled rocket by South Korea's military on Friday caused a momentary public panic about the possibility of a North Korean missile launch or an appearance by a UFO.
In a statement, the Defense Ministry explained that the rocket launch was a component of its efforts to strengthen its defensive posture and develop a space-based monitoring capabilities.
It claimed that the launch was kept a secret from the general public because it concerned vital military security matters.
In some areas of South Korea's sky on Friday night, a twisted tendril of vapor with a white-to-red ombre could be seen slithering behind a brilliant white light. Social media and internet sites in South Korea were flooded with posts from those who claimed to have seen a soaring object, a rainbow-colored vapor trail.
